March FULL COMMITTEE (Online Meeting Access)

A.  LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
                                                             Chair Almanza            5 min
The Shelter Monitoring Committee acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the Indigenous stewards of this land, and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramaytush Ohlone have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. As guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the Ancestors, Elders, and Relatives of the Ramaytush Ohlone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as First Peoples.

Training remained a topic of interest.  Member Dobbs planned to ask HSH for information about requirements and budgets, as well as how much discretion they have on what and how they provide this.  There was more discussion of a proposal by Member C-J Ross as to how to ensure that complaints filed with the shelter but not SMC are addressed. Lastly, the video systems question is still under review. HSH’s 2018 procedure was shared.
